God love family

My sisters arrived on Thursday. No cooking which was wonderful. Today I get to go to a local hotel for a 3 day respite. I am so ready for this. May everyone have a great weekend.

this week has been interesting

Mom had been complaining about her side aching. Made an appointment for her. Her doctor was going to treat her for shingles due to no bruising or redness but she was in severe pain. Then to be on the safe side he ordered an x-ray. Mom had broken 2 ribs. Her doctor said she could have just bent wrong at her age her bones are like chalk. Just when I think all is well. At this time she is comfortable and healing.

Its the little things

Mom enjoys setting the table even though I reset it after she leaves the room. She still can stir things as I make dinner. She still takes her dishes out to the kitchen after dinner. She continues to do well on the phone when friends call. She still is as friendly and gracious as always. We continue on a calm path. I am so glad to be able to call her mom again. It is those little things that I hold onto.
